Dangerously Tasty Peanut Butter Brownie Trifle

There are some desserts that are not only pretty to look at, but they bring out expressions like “OH MY WORD!” They are great for a crowd, but dangerous for an individual or even a small family. Each bite feels like my my jeans are getting tighter and I’ll be paying with intense workouts in the coming week. I immensely enjoyed a couple bites and called it good.

This recipe is from How Sweet It Is. I just recently found this blog on Pinterest. Perusing the fantastic ideas on Pinterest sometimes makes me feel like an underachiever with a poorly designed blog and no fashion sense, so I don’t go there all too often. Occasionally, I’ll wind down in bed looking at beautiful decor, food, and clothing combos, but one can get quickly overwhelmed by great ideas.

Last night we hosted the dessert portion of a church middle school progressive dinner. It was the perfect opportunity to try out this dessert. Needless to say, with a houseful of teenagers and their leaders, it went quick!

The Trifle. A whole lot of goodness thrown together in a pretty bowl. Delicious!

Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table.
